Here at Past Gas, we can’t get enough of car flops. How do bad cars get designed and approved? What makes a car a failure? How would you feel if you had a car NAMED after you that is now literally a crossword answer for “automotive failure”? Today on the podcast, James, Nolan, and Joe tell you the story of the Ford Edsel, a car built by committee that nobody wanted to buy. Except maybe Nolan-- listen to the podcast to find out why!
